This feels just as likely to be the ramblings of a crazy person as an actual map of the human brain.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

It's real, but cobbled together from multiple sources. For instance we haven't referred to the "reticular activating system" since maybe the 1980s? They call it the "reticular arousal system" which is either a neologism or maybe a reactivation of the term in the literature. I haven't been active in the area in over a decade.
I'll note that this broadly accurate on a macro level, but the details really matter. There are different cortical layers for instance and cell types and the nature of the signal processing differs by layer. So saying "X connects to Y" is useful in some sense, but provides much less information than you might imagine.
I also am curous about the "fear of god." Pathway. It's right next to anxiety.
Well shouldn't it be? lol.
Did you find it? The map is one massive shitpost.
There is actual work on that by a guy named Michael Persinger using transcranial magnetic induction. He claimed to have found a region where stimulation produced a sense of the presence/fear of God. Persinger was a hack on many levels. He used a motorcycle helmet with holes drilled in it for the induction mount. Lete see if I can find a paper...
Well never mind. The kook died a few years ago. https://www.sudbury.com/local-news/breaking-laurentian-professor-michael-persinger-most-famous-for-his-god-helmet-passes-away-1016204
He also has a wikipedia page lol. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_helmet
If you look at the source (link on the right edge) it's a page with religious ramblings on how this disproves evolution because our nervous system is set up like a computer or microchip. Bibles quotes and all.
The chart is a great testament to how complicated our biology is and not much else.
Sure your brain doesn't have a Honeywell Military Internal Navigation System in it?
This is part of my actual area of expertise. They mis-labeled the locus coeruleus as being "stress". Arousal would be more correct. They also missed Barrington's Nucleus right next to it which controls micturition. Absolute trash.
Lmao
Note: vastly undersells the complexity.
For example the neurotransmitters listed are by no means all of the transmitters. We're still figuring out how many there are but the number is definitely more than 100.
This feels like a joke
This is a cool guide to a descent into schizophrenic paranoia. I am genuinely concerned for the mental health of whoever made this.
Thanks for making it completely unintelligible
If you squint it looks like the start of r/place.
Obviously intelligent design.
You forgot this: /s
And here I am struggling with Visio, trying to make illustrations of relatively simple networks.
And here I thought I didn’t understand computer chip engineering designs (or whatever they’re called).
Its literally just random shit strewn across the image? Why is this even here?
